Janklow addresses education
By Dirk Moore
Editor
Governor William Janklow spoke at an open forum in the Com-mons
lounge, Thursday, September 24, at 4 p.m. Janklow addressed
questions concerning private and public education, as well as other
concerns.
The state-provided Tuition Equalization Grant "is a token of our
appreciation," says Janklow, using the words of House Majority
Leader Joe Barnett. ,Janklow says, "It is in our own self-interest to
keep private schools from closing down'.'
"The $100 thousand was a way of saying we support private
education in South Dakota," Janklow says. "But," he adds, "most
of you [students] know the extra $100 you receive does not exactly
equalize tuition."
Augustana President William Nelsen questioned Janklow on the
possibility of continued state support for private education. Janklow
said, in response, that he is behind the private colleges and recognizes
their importance to the state. Nevertheless, he says, "I'd be fibbing
that, before we support public education, we will provide for private
schools."
Presently, according to Janklow, the state provides $62 million of
its $280 million general fund for educational purposes in the state.
Janklow says that South Dakota leads the nation in per capita educa-tional
support. "We've had a $32 million jump in `1(' to 12 educa-tion,"
says Janklow.
Financial support to education has positive effects in other areas,
according to Janklow. "We can do something for agriculture by _do-ing
something for 'K' to 12 education. And by giving people an
education you've eliminated the root cause of poverty," he said.
Education, Janklow says, is a basic need, like food, clothing,
medical care, and housing. "This [education] is not a political fight
between two parties. This is a basic need. And the risks we take in
education are of the few risks worth taking," Janklow says.
Although education may be a risk worth taking, Democratic guber-natorial
candidate Mike O'Connor feels differently about ETSI, ac-cording
to Janklow.
ETSI is a company that has contracted to purchase South Dakota
Missouri River water for use in a coal-slurry pipeline.
"Mike says we don't get enough money from ETSI," Janklow
says. But according to Janklow, "Every dime we get from ETSI is a
bonus.
Janklow sees another virtue in the contract, besides resulting in a
source of revenue. "The contract provides that the only court we can
go to if there are any disputes over Missouri water would be before
our own [state] court system and our laws."
Janklow says that there are further advantages in the contract with
respect to available water to western South Dakota communities.

PR surveys various public attitudes
By Brenda Wade
Assistant editor
Do you exercise regularly?
What is your favorite fast food
restaurant? Do you plan to stay
on campus for Interim?
These were some of the ques-tions
asked in surveys completed
by the public relations class
taught by Dan Spaugh. The
students in the class conducted
the polls as part of their studies in
the area of public relations.
Group one conducted a ran-dom
telephone survey to deter-mine
a general feeling or impres-sion
of public attitudes on
physical fitness and excercise.
Of the people surveyed, 78
percent exercised regularly, with
walking as the most popular form
of exercise. The majority of
reasons given for exercising was
body toning and relaxation.
Portraits to
be taken
Nov. 15, 16
Free senior portraits for the
yearbook will be taken by
Sudlow Photography Nov. 15
and 16.
Appointments for taking the
pictures can be made the first
week of November in the. Com-mons
concourse. Three dollars
will be charged for seniors who
wish to purchase proofs.
The deadline for senior pic-tures
to be included in the year-book
is Feb. 1, 1983.
In February, Sudlow
Photography will be on campus
again to take under classmen pic-tures
for the yearbook. These
pictures will be used instead of
buzz book pictures.
Women tended to exercise for
body toning but primarily for
weight control. Men exercised
mostly for body toning.
The fitness poll also discovered
that people over the age of 50
tended to exercise by walking
daily to keep fit.
Group two polled people on
campus to ask their views on fast
food restaurants, discovering
that McDonalds was the favorite.
Burger King was second, with
Hardees a close third and Wen-dy's
fourth.
The least favorite fast food
restaurants in Sioux Falls includ-ed
Taco Rita, Long John Silvers,
Pizza Inn and Taco Bandito.
Convenience was the advan-tage
the majority of those who
were polled look for when choos-ing
a fast food restaurant.
The average respondent ate at
his favorite fast food establish-ment
at least twice a week, usual-ly
on Friday and Saturday.
According to this poll, the
average person is not concerned
with whether or not the food
served at fast food restaurants is
nutritional, as long as they get it
quickly.
Most people surveyed stated
media advertising and promo-tional
offerings by restaurants
usually had no bearing on the
choice to eat there. Cost was not
a factor in this choice either, but
quality of food taste was con-sidered
important.
Interim at Augustana was the
focus of group three's poll. Thir-ty
percent of the people polled
randomly on campus planned to
stay on campus for Interim.
Overwhelming, the majority
of respondents prefered Interim
in January as opposed to Interim
in the spring, following two
semesters.
Interim in January was a
welcome and much needed break
from regular class schedules for
92 percent of those polled.
However, they felt the offered
classes lacked variety
Fifteen percent planned to
take a course in the core; 38 per-cent
opted for classes in their ma-jor,
and 47 percent planned to
take an elective.
In a random student survey 43
percent of the students used Mik-kleson
library two to three times
per week. Thirty-four percent
used it one to three times per
month, and 23 percent used the
library irregularly or never.
The persons polled cited the
library as being used primarily
fbr homework or resource and
